Oh guys! You are up to trouble with these bad boys, or at least I am! Eggs + cheese? Speaking my love language in one sentence. Happy to be breaking my fast with one of these... or not? Because these are keto friendly.
Technically, YES. This is a fantastic way to break for fast and to keep your state of ketosis. If you are new to the keto jazz here's what you need to know.
What's state of ketosis?
Our bodies can obtain energy from two main sources: glucose and ketones. So being in a state of ketosis is basically when your body is getting energy from fats.
How does our bodies create ketones?
Easy peasy! Our bodies don't need any manual to learn how use ketones as fuel, but this is what needs to happen when we begging to use ketones as energy.
When our bodies run out of carbs (glucose), insulin drops and the pancreas begins to secrete glucagon which tells our fat tissue to stop being a jackass and send some of their stored fat into our bloodstream. That fat travels to the liver where they get converted to ketones. These travel through our blood stream and provide energy to our brain and tissues.
As a nutritionist I love the science behind the Ketogenic Diet, but I'm not here to tell you what diet you should follow. Like I always tell my clients; "We are going to do what it works best for YOU!"
The point here is that this recipe is ketogenic friendly, but of course, it can be eaten and made by anyone! Unless you are vegan of dairy intolerant.
ANYWAYS! This recipe definitely hits the spot for any tome of the day, you name it!
Breakfast? Perfect.
Lunch? You've got it!
Dinner? Sign me up!
Snack? Done.
